Female Domestic Shorthair Cat, 2 Years Old for Sale in Halstead, Essex
Accessories included£50
Mittens is a lovely affectionate girl with a playful side! She is just over 2 years old and has been spayed and microchipped - however she will need her vaccination. She is great with kids but I would recommend potentially 4 yrs+ as when she plays she does often have her claws out , however she has never hurt our 2 year old. Would like for her to go to a home with lots of love to give!
RehomeMale British Shorthair Cat, 3 Years Old for Rehoming in Harlow, Essex

Beautiful pedigree British Shorthair boy looking for a loving forever home. Born 19/11/2022. He is a well-loved family cat with a lovely personality. He comes with pedigree papers and a pet passport. We are looking for a kind and responsible home where he will be loved, well cared for and treated as part of the family. Finding the right home for him is very important to us. Please message if genuinely interested and I’ll be happy to provide more information and photos.
Male Labrador Retriever Puppy, 5 Months Old for Sale in Chelmsford, Essex
Accessories included£850
We are looking for the right new home for our beautiful 5-month-old male Fox Red Labrador, Muka. Born 12 April 2026, Muka is a pedigree working-line Labrador, KC registered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, regularly wormed and flea treated, and has been seen by our vet throughout his time with us. He comes from strong working lines. His sire is Ronnie Red of Cottershot, a striking working Labrador who is fully health tested and weighs approximately 35kg. His dam weighs approximately 25kg. Photos of both parents are included, along with photos of him as a younger puppy and now. We are rehoming him because, as a young family, we underestimated the amount of time and commitment a young working-line Labrador requires and feel he would be better suited to a home that can give him more time and attention. He is still very young and his training is limited, so his new owner will need to be prepared to put time into his training. He has previously been walked regularly, is good around other dogs, and has grown up around our toddler and has been absolutely fine with her. We are his current owners rather than his breeders. His KC registration and relevant documentation will be provided to his new owner. Please note that although we are advertising now to give us time to find the right home, he will NOT be available for collection until 12 October 2026, when he will be six months old. Finding the right home is much more important to us than a quick sale. Ideally we’re looking for someone who understands the time, exercise and attention a young working Labrador needs. Please tell us a little about yourself and the home you can offer when getting in touch. Serious enquiries only.

Where can I buy a pet in Essex?+
PetTrader lists pets for sale, adoption and rehoming across Essex from local breeders, private sellers and rescue centres. Every advert shows the seller's area so you can arrange a viewing nearby, and every seller passes a photo-ID and live selfie check before advertising.
How much do puppies cost in Essex?+
Prices follow the breed rather than the area — most UK puppies sell for £500–£3,000 depending on breed, health testing and pedigree, with popular breeds such as French Bulldogs and Cockapoos nearer the top. An advert priced well below the normal range for its breed is a common sign of a scam.
How do I sell my pet in Essex?+
Create a free account, complete the ID check, add clear photos and honest details, then publish. Your first advert is free; after that it is a one-off fee per pet — £9.99 for a dog, £6.99 for a cat and £4.99 for smaller animals. Adverts run for 60 days. Breeders and businesses can list on a monthly or annual subscription instead.
Are pet sellers in Essex licensed?+
Anyone breeding three or more litters a year, or selling pets commercially, needs a licence from their local council. Ask for the licence number and check it against the council register before you buy, and always see a puppy or kitten with its mother in the home where it was bred.
Can I rehome or adopt a pet in Essex?+
Yes. Rescues and charities in Essex advertise pets for adoption on PetTrader, and private owners can list a pet for rehoming with or without a fee. Adoption listings are restricted to registered rescue and charity accounts so you know who you are dealing with.
